2022/2023 Thespian Officers

Peter Boenish - Peter is eager to represent his fellow thespians on the board of Troupe #69 this year! Peter started his theatre career when he was in 6th grade playing in the pit for Annie, and from there he has worked on stage and off for many productions over the years. This is Peters first year being a set crew head and his second year doing lights, and he can’t wait to make so many new memories. Peter is excited to represent his peers and begin the new year!

Alex Dixon - Alex is thrilled to be spending his next year on the Troupe #69 Thespian Board. Although he's new to the area, he's not new to theatre. He has been performing since he was five years old in his school play. Alex is also incredibly excited to be on the Props crew. He wants everyone to enjoy this year and hopes he can help make the year awesome!

Scout Kuehn - Scout is very delighted to represent the Thespians of Troupe #69 as a Thespian Officer for the new season. She was inducted in 2020 and she can’t wait for the new experiences, opportunities, and memories that her second year on board has to bring. Scout has always had a burning passion for theatre. From Big Fish, to Xanadu, and all the way to the streets of Skid Row in Little Shop of Horrors, Scout has continued her passion throughout the years with a brave face. This is Scout’s second and final year as a costume crewhead, which has taught her to be very, very, very patient. One thing she wants all to know is that the troupe is a welcoming group of people, who all have the same aspirations and passions, and then some!

Evelyn Maddux, Chair - Evelyn is thrilled to represent her fellow peers on the Troupe #69 Thespian Board! Evelyn had a blast serving on board last year as chair and is so excited for what this year will bring! This year will be her second year as an Unscripted captain as well as her third year serving as a costume crew head. Evelyn began her theatre journey at the age of 6 and has appeared in 17 productions since then! She strives to help on and off stage as much as possible to make each and every theatre production and event the best it can be! Evelyn is devoted to ensuring that each and every thespian feels advocated for and hopes they know that if they need anything from a question answered, a piece of clothing hemmed, an improvisational pick-me-up, or anything in between, they know who to call. Evelyn is eager to begin the 2022-23 theatre season!

Aidan Seville - Aidan is thrilled to represent his fellow thespians for the 2022/23 Thespian Board! He’s loved theatre since the age of eight and can’t wait for what this year will bring. Aidan is ecstatic about auditioning for unscripted for the third year in a row! Aidan is also going to be a first time crew head on lights and set and is so excited to go the extra mile. Aidan can’t wait to begin his senior year with the amazing people of Troupe #69 this theatre season.
